They do, I voted for Biden, I voted for Harris, but I wasn't happy about it.

Running Windows in a virtual machine under linux with an emulated TPM is one reasonable way to keep it relatively under control, I guess. But the graphics drivers are, shall we say, low on features.

It's an American tradition!

A lot of printers are poop. A lot of printer drivers are poop, including ones for Linux. If I want my printer to "just work" then I need to install packages. Luckily Brother produces them, and they have been doing so for years now. I've done several OS upgrades and always had new drivers available to me for them. But if they didn't do that, it would still work, I just wouldn't be able to use it via USB. My Laser PSC supports both printing and scanning via standard protocols. The only thing that wouldn't work is the on-device buttons, which I don't use anyway.

Therefore this is either user error at setup time, or user error at purchase time. That is no comfort to a home user, but we're talking about a nation here.

This isn't even a case where a burner phone would have helped, or device that should have been using a lock down mode. This is just a case where the guy shouldn't have had notifications enabled for Signal.

I wouldn't really consider this a hack or exploit, everything is working as designed. If you want something to stay secret, don't have that secret pop up as a notification on your phone.

He forgot the word "partial"

If they want that control they need to at least divest from ALL use of Microsoft "solutions" and possibly also build their own Linux distribution.

If you've got one bad cop and one "good" cop enabling him, you've got two bad cops. Both parties always vote for more funding for war, which is how this was even possible in the first place.

So they're just shitty LLMs

Says the oligarch fellator.

Says the non-materialist. If their purpose wasn't profit they would have founded a co-op. Your worship of capitalism is a religious belief.

I had VERY SPECIFIC requirements and I wanted the extended warranty. I would have paid 2x at a dealer. I know what I was doing.

Tell us more about how your religion doesn't have a fragile basis in reality.

I bought a used 2020 XC90 from CarMax last week. I did everything online from shipping it from Texas to Minnesota to financing the extended warranty. I walked in the door, gave them a cashier's check, and drove away within 10 minutes.

That's how it should be.

Little bitch says what?

All of that shit is like 1% of advertising.
